ABOUT

We are the ARCHUB Architects, a full-service design and consulting group specializing in environmental design architecture and research. Founded at Abu Dhabi University, ARCHHUB Architects is led by Mohamed Elkaftangui, Nadia Mounajjed, and Alessandra Misuri. It is committed to developing architectural designs towards a contemporary interpretation embodying an environmental and sustainable approach.
ARCHUB's projects encompass housing, public buildings, art, and interior design. Their projects are in the United Arab Emirates, but the team’s professional experience has been extended in Europe and Africa.
While practicing architecture, ARCHUB documents and discusses its reflections on architecture, culture, and arts through publications, architectural exhibitions, and academic lectures and presentations.

MISSION

The thoughtful, collaborative, and lasting creation of architecture can impact quality of life for those who use it. ARCHUB ARCHITECTS is devoted to crafting exclusive and responsive spaces that go beyond the standard building experience. We believe in our responsibility as designers to provide clients with projects that are sustainable and responsible.

PROCESS

A design process informed by research, encompassing every phase:
from planning to programming, as from concept to development.

Environmental assessment and building energy performance.

Optimized design process that leads to sustainable design.

ARCHUB
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

ARCHUB believes that the most important key to success in the design thinking process is to improve the use of creative thinking throughout the different phases of the project.
To keep improving the quality of our solutions, we focus on the end user and create a collaborative environment working on refining ideas. In our projects, we create solutions to combine aesthetics, costs, durability, and environmental responsibility.

ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES

Architecture and its environment are interdependent on one another. The environment gives context to its architecture, architecture defines its environment.
In our projects, we provide important care to the thermal comfort of users by the creation of building systems that are adapted to the local environment and functions of the space. We control factors like insulation, solar gain, thermal inertia, and air ventilation.
By adopting an environmental design approach through our scientific engagements, ARCHUB ARCHITECTS possesses a unique advantage over traditional architecture firms when it comes to design and construction.
Most of our architectural projects are subjects of research and publications in conferences and journals.  DreamWorks Dragons Season 1 (Dub) Episode 3

The of how different dragons (like the Monstrous Nightmare) contribute to Berk's survival

In the third episode of DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk , titled , the series moves beyond the initial "boy and his dragon" bond to tackle a broader societal challenge: the integration of two vastly different ecosystems. While the Vikings have theoretically made peace with their former enemies, the island's livestock—essential for survival—remain paralyzed by primal fear. This episode serves as a deep meditation on the limitations of forced coexistence and the necessity of shared vulnerability in building a true community. The Paradox of Peace

: The close quarters between Hiccup and Astrid as they huddle for warmth mirrors the heat the dragons eventually provide for the entire herd.

Hiccup’s attempts to "desensitize" the animals through exposure therapy initially fail because they lack emotional weight. The breakthrough only occurs during "The Big Freeze," a catastrophic winter storm that levels the playing field.

The episode concludes with the iconic image of the Great Hall filled with Vikings, dragons, and livestock. It suggests that a house becomes a home only when every resident feels safe. By the end, the animals don’t just tolerate the dragons; they recognize them as part of the "herd". This episode transforms the series from a fantasy adventure into a , proving that the hardest part of peace is convincing the most vulnerable that the world has actually changed.

The central conflict arises because the village's sheep and yaks are starving the Vikings—not out of malice, but through the instinctual terror of living alongside "tame" apex predators. This highlights a profound theme: For the livestock, the dragons are still monsters; for the Vikings, the dragons are now tools. The episode argues that a community cannot thrive on a hierarchy where one group is protected and another is perpetually terrorized. Vulnerability as a Bridge
